Attorney Collins related that there were questions regarding whether Giannetti was a <br />responsive bidder in terms of licensure, experience, and in submitting required bid documents, <br />including an affidavit that should had been signed by the subcontractor. <br />Commissioner Flescher asked Attorney Collins if the concerns being aired were <br />about licensure or delivery of service. Attorney Collins replied that the question was whether <br />Giannetti Contracting had experience in the area of work that is specified in the contract. Director <br />Davis added that Giannetti's bid did not show that they had done these types of projects. He <br />reiterated that the General Contractor's license was very important to this project because it <br />involved many types of work besides underground utility. <br />Attorney Vaccarella stated that a list of qualifications had been sent to the County <br />Attorney. Attorney Collins divulged that he had met with the Stormwater Engineer, the Project <br />Engineer, and the Purchasing Manager to review the information, and it was still not determined <br />that Giannetti had a responsive bid. <br />Mr. Rick Giannetti, owner of Giannetti's Contracting Corporation, discussed the <br />types of projects his company was involved in and presented informational packets to the <br />Commissioners (copy on file). He stated that his company specialized in dewatering (moving and <br />relocating water) projects, and declared that there was nothing in the subject project that Giannetti <br />could not handle. <br />Attorney Vaccarella declared that under the Competitive Bid Laws of Florida and <br />of the County, Giannetti Contracting Corporation was the lowest bidder for this project. Attorney <br />Vaccarella referred to the affidavit mentioned earlier, and stated that the form had not specified <br />who was supposed to sign it. <br />July 24, 2007 42 <br />
